Messier 71 is a loose globular cluster in the constellation Sagitta.

Conditions were not excellent, there were high clouds and much moisture aloft. The images captured through the red filter do not have M71 in the center of the frame. I don't know the reason for that. It's one of the pitfalls of unattended imaging. I didn't notice the problem until I registered the images.
